Our technology is an engineering innovation comprised of a programmable circuit-level stochastic device combined with fast and efficient software transforms that can increase the speed of non-uniform random number generation multiple orders of magnitude beyond the current state of the art. Fast and efficient random number generation from non-uniform distributions is a significant bottleneck for a variety of calculations involving uncertain inputs and outcomes. Monte Carlo simulations, Bayesian inference and generative adversarial neural networks all require a high throughput source of samples from a non-uniform probability distributions. All 3 application areas are projected to grow rapidly as automation becomes increasingly prominent and computing systems are required to make increasingly more decisions based on uncertain information. Accelerators for non-uniform random generation currently do not exist. We are going to build one.
